Coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Ince without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Higher Ince
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
